My friend got this phone off Ebay and I have it flashed with CM7 rom. He's trying to be it working on Page Plus and they say he needs to get it working on Sprint first with a stock rom?
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this working on Page Plus instead of Sprint?

Actually is not a Stock ROM but any ROM which you can get in to EPST or DIAG Mode so PagePlus can program your phone manually.
That's what I did to hero to works with my carrier.
if its sprint branded, it needs to be flashed back to stock with an ruu. if you dig through the hero cdma forums, you will be able to find it. if not message me, i just dont have the link handy. im pretty sure if you click on my name and look through my posts, somewhere in there i posted a link to it.
from there you can use epst to program it, did pageplus accept the phone's esn? if so then once its flashed back to stock sprint rom just take it to their store and they should be able to very easily get it set up with data, calling etc.

I have a HTC hero with mobi pcs, a hawaiian regional carrier that runs off they own towers and no big parent company (verizon, att,etc). My question is that if I flash to a new rom does the rom get rid of the prl and all the information to connect to the certain network I'm on. The hero is laggy and since the updates go thru the carrier with android I doubt my lil company will update us.
I have checked google n whatnot but when someone asks a question like this the thread always goes into another topic and the original answer is not fully answered. Thanks ya'll!
PS. Cdma network so I thought this would be the right catagorie to post lol

cant answer for sure...i BELIEVE a sprint based rom would mess with your service somehow. definatly dont flash fresh2.0d, which DOES affect your pri
sorry i cant be more of a help.
are you rooted? and if so, what recovery?
after my last response, i vaugly remember reading another thread similiar to this. ill link you tomaro
It shouldnt mess with connection. Since im pretty sure a rom doesnt mess with the radio on your phone.
If you do root your phone and get amon-RA-v1.6.2 you can make a nandroid backup. Which is a backup of your entire rom. You can have that to always go back to.
Use DamageControl 2.07.2.. If your connection doesnt go threw right away, then go to setting>about phone>Update Profile and Update PRL.. Both would fix your connections with your carrier.
If that fails to connect, then just nandroid back to your defualt rom.
But im 95% sure it would work.
MAKE sure you do Backup/Restore>Nandroid backup

Now I see the ways to root a non Sprint hero with the sprint ruu then choose don't change Pri, flash to sprint ruu and root it that way. I don't like the idea of flashing it to sprint.LOL. what would be the best way to root it?
There is a way to Root non sprint heros.
I think you have to ruin an SD card, but IMO it's worth it.
ALSO
There is a 1 special ROM for NON Sprint Hero's. I really can't for the life of me remember what its called....maybe "Unsung Hero" or something like that.
But it does not mod PRIs or PRLs like some of the Sprint Roms do.
You can search on "Root Non Sprint Hero" to come up with the how to root with a "Gold Card"
Then you can search for
"Non Sprint ROM"
and get that rom for NON Sprint HEROs.
OK OK. Mahalo for everyone speedy reply! VERY HELPFUL!
Now I wonder how to get sprevovery or clockwork on it to do a full backup Oh the stock/unrooted rom. Like as how for I dump this rom so I can recover it later, maybe even with the pri /prl within it in case anything goes wrong. You guys are effing great, so much knowledge here!!!!
I was trying to update from CM6 to CM7 and somehow screwed up. I thought I had bricked my phone.
I've pretty much done everything you're not supposed to do, but I've managed to revert back to the stock ROM via HTC's website.
My problem now is I cannot connect to the data network. I can't update my PRL or Profile.
Anyone know how to help?
I'm about to resort to my trusty ole Best Buy warranty.
TIA
Call sprint.
sent from a series of tubes.
im not a sprint customer but can't you download the Sprint RUU from sprints website? if so download and run that.
Has anyone sucsessfully uploaded a custom Rom on there Verizon device.
I'm a little puzzled and stuck. When I go to upload a custom Rom like viper one or Nv project, I get blocked out of my radio on the phone. No cell service or even WiFi.

You have a CDMA device, you are looking in the wrong forum. Please look at the one for the Verizon HTC One: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one
Have had my phone for about 4 months now. When I first got it flashed to work on PagePlus, I decided to try a custom ROM on it. Since it was flashed to work on the Verizon network, I figured a Verizon ROM would be the way to go. After the flash, the phone would not connect to the cell network anymore. I went back to the stock ROM and everything worked fine again. Since then, I've only tried Sprint based ROMs and haven't had any issues.
Just wondering if there is a reason why a Verizon ROM would not work in my case? Can't figure out if I did something wrong with the flash or if a Verizon ROM won't work since the phone was originally a Sprint version.
I didnt think it mattered, because Verizon has a white list... meaning even if you do get a verizon rom on there it still won't activate since the IEMI is not on verizons database.....
I'm not looking to activate the phone with Verizon, I'm already with PagePlus (which uses Verizon towers) and the phone works fine. My question was more about should I be able to flash a ROM geared for a Verizon phone? Seems like I should, but last time I tried that, something didn't work out right. I've been using Sprint based ROMs since then and the phone is working fine (with PagePlus as my carrier).

No, it won't be possible to flash a Verizon ROM since the mount points are different. Plus, I've already tried asking and the answer is no, sadly.
Hello, I got a HTC M8 HK unlocked from the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150 3 months ago the phone was working without any issue, then sunddenly the signal went gone and I place the phone on airplane mode then I deactivated it. The signal recovered pretty fine.
Then a couple of days ago the phone refused to receive/send calls only 3G is working, emergency calls are working so I assumed that the GSM antenna is working fine since I was able to place a emergency call.
Im still using the stock ROM 4.4.2 recently I updated the software to 5.0.1 to see if the problem can be fixed but nope... The issue stills there.
So if any one was able to replicate or is having the same issue can guide me in order to recover this.
I'm going to flash the following radio to re-attempt the unlock procedure again.
1.12.651.17 Original Stock ROM
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!
I would run the RUU for the 5.0.1 update to make sure your firmware is up to date. If you only updated your software but not your firmware you're going to have issues. If this doesn't fix your issue I'd try ##72786# from the dialer and do a reset from the menu once it comes up, and, if all else fails, run ##3282# from the dialer and then reset from there. You'll need your MSL code for that last one. You can get your MSL code from Sprint or by using the MSL reader app from the Play store. RUU's can be found in OMJ's RUU thread in the development section.
Hey thanks! I will do that when I arrive home!
The problem will be that I need to get back to 4.4.2 to perform the unlock again, since this is the Harman Kardon edition from the Sprint.
Another thing that is kind of funny that I have full 3G connectivity downloading at 3MB/s
HBOOT: 3.16.0.0000
RADIO: 1.08.20.0610
OS: 1.54.654.15

Well my friend it didn't work sadly
Now I'm going to try to convert my HK to a simple Sprint M8 to check if the radio versions interfere, I was watching a lot of comments when you change the radio it affects everything, since Sprint only wants to keep them running on their network the modify this one as well. So I will use another version to see what happens.

Not sure why you'd want to change versions, as the only difference is the ADSP firmware. The radios are the same.

Well to be honest I'm a noob on this topics, well I converted the device to M8 directly from sprint and the same history only 3G data but no calls, also I modified the settings of the bands with QSPT same result as well. I'm going to migrate to 5.0.1 and follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59462305&postcount=4293 to check what happens. I already also changed the nano SIM to the same operator... But it's really curious to me... Why he's able to deliver a emergency call on the GSM network... If the antenna is damaged it should allow this type of calls at all...

And at the end nothing worked... Only Data is active... No GSM calls... I gave up... XD
Sadly... This phone was only 3 months with me...
Thanks for the help dude!
